Co. and promoter. of western gold mines.

ey in business enterprise in Boulder,
Colorado, from which he returned last
spring and that is supposed to have been
the cause of his temporary insanity. He

—— Arrangements are being made for a
big sporting event at the fair grounds on
Thanksgiving afternoon. It will include
several very entertaining events, among
which will be racing and clay pigeon shoct-
ing. All of the fast local horses will start

——The Missouri Girl, which will be pre-
sented at Garman’s Thursday, Nov. 20th,
is a sensational comedy-drama with a plot,
well carried out if in the bands of a compe-
tent cast, and there is plenty of comedy run-
ning through the story in which the mem-
bers of the company have au opportunity
to display their talents. The scenic effects
and climaxes will be carefully looked after
each act requiring a setting of special soen-
ery. The strength of the play, or more
properly speaking, the secret of its great
popularity is ascribed to the vigorous and
unconventional mannerin which the anthoy
has handled his material.
——1It always gives us a feeling of pleas-
ure when we hear that Henry Linn has
gone to New York in the interest of
the china hall, as we know that it
means more beautiful porcelain for ue to,
at least, look at even though we may not
always purchase as we would like to. Cer-
amics is becoming a study and interest and
knowledge of it is more obligatory now
than ever, so that it is a privilege to have
such a store as china hall where new wares
are constantly being displayed. For years
Mr. Wilkinson made it one of the best and
most attractive china stores in this section
of the State and now, under Henry Linn’s
mauagement, it is sure to have a reputation
more than local.

ANOTHER Bic LiME OPERATION.—For
some time there have "been rumors of a big
lime and stone industry being opened in
this vicinity, independent of the: trust, but
not until Wednesday did it assume definite
proportions. On that day a deed was en-
tered for record in the Recorder’s office by
which George G. Hastings transferred 63.83
acres of his farm to 'W. H. Walker, of
Philadelphia, the consideration being
$8,000.
Mr. Walker had left for the city before he
could be seen, but from other sources it was
learned that he intends opening quarries on
the property at once. In fact the work of
grading a siding from the Bellefonte Cen-
tral track was begun last week and is about
completed. The property is along the Buf-
falo-run, immediately west of the Keystone
operations of the American Lime & Stone
Co. and has an opening into the same vein
of stone that has made the Bellefonte lime
celebrated all over the country.
Ten stone kilns will be erected at once, a
crusher for stone and a mill to grind lime.
While the operating plans are not at all
complete probably one hundred men will
be employed. Mr. Walker's offices will be
located in this place and he will spend as
much of his time as possible here, though
not to the detriment of his commission busi-
ness in Philadelphia He is a brother of
John 8. Walker, of MCalmont & Co., and
has spent several summers recreating about
B:llefonte.
VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS. — Bellefoute
has long prided itself on the appearance it
presents to strangers, but it will not do to
take too’ much pride in what once existed
and make no effort to insure its continn-
ance. Our people have been fortunate in
possessing Shekels sufficient to enable them
to expend them in ways not heretofore pos-
sible to the majority of country towns but
a time has come when we can easily be out-
classed by more prosperous neighbors where
business booms constantly and where the
—— pp re
people are alert to progress in village im-
provements. We must not rest too much
on past laurels, for our village presents far
from the spic’s and span appearance to be
desired. Leaving out of the question our
spoliation of natural beauties—a thing
greatly to our discredit-—there is yet much
that could be done by every individual and
property holder. The streets are dirty and
the sidewalks very dilapidated and even
dangerous in many places. It does not re-
quire wealth to keep a sidewalk in repair
and clean and it would add greatly to the
attractiveness of our town. This is but
preliminary to stating that new flag stone
pavements have been laid in front of the
residences of Mrs. John Wagner and Mis.
James Mitchell on Spring street and their
example is one that we wish would be
emulated in many parts of town. If women
owned more property and had more in-
fluence in municipal affairs our town would
he a model.
*r0 ——
——We are glad to know that good
things are coming to our friends, even
though OUR roosters couldn’t crow last
week. Years ago ‘‘Jack’” McLellan was
one of our most popular and best known
business men when he came here from
Chambersburg in conjunction with Wm. T.
Speer to run the car shops, which proved
one of those unfortunate husiness fiascos for
which our town seems to be responsible, as
both the men have gone on to success—Mr.
Speer to become one of our-most valuable
citizens, Mr. McLellan leaving us, much to
our regret, to find recognition with the
growth of that great corporation, the Penn-
sylvania railroad. He wae in Altoona for
some time, then promoted to Allegheny and
has now been made superintendent of all
the shops, roundhouses and yards of the P.
in Philadelphia. We claim more
than a business interest in Mr. McLellan as
he married, while here, Miss Emma Wagner,
sister of Mrs. J. L. Spangler.

-—1I¢t is not always that ‘one sees the
fruits of untiring labor multiplied more
than a score of times, as has happened in
the case of Dr. Geo. W." Atherton, of State
College, for an old student who was at the
college when Dr. Atherton came there told
us there were then just twenty-five stu-
dents then. Now there are over six hundred.
It could scarcely have been otherwise
though, for Dr. Atherton has put into it un-
stintedly physical andmental vigor, leaving
no avenue-—political, financial, intellectual-
untried which could contribute anything
of success to our State College. In this
| age of statistical expression it may more
adequately convey his success to say the
number of students has multiplied a score
of times but statistics would not be neces-
sary to one familiar with the steady growth
of the college in buildings, apparatus, in-
structors and reputation. Dr. Atherton is
soon to take a muchly earned rest, as he
has been granted leave of absence to cruise
through ‘the Mediterranean and revisit a
number of interesting Old World places.

to the manner born Mrs. Elliott is at ypical south-
erner. She is clever, intelligent and jovial and as
for politics--she is far more loyal to the Demo-
cratic party and better informed on the merits
than the majority of its supporters who inherited
their party as a birth right.
—*Bob” Hunter has looked corpulent and
opulent so long, has whizzed by in his next best—
to—an—automobile, has hustled until he has

smiling exterior that we cannot imagine what
more could be added to make him look the suc-
cessful mine owner it is rumored he has become.
There is no word failure in his ‘vocabulary, for
though discouragements certainly came at first,
in this winning venture, they couldn’t deter him
from making it ultimately a success. Whether
copper, iron, brass, silver or gold its bound to be
all gold to him in the end and although now we
merely say Robert F. Hunter, president, and F.
H. Thomas, treasurer of the Blue Jacket Mining
Company of Granby, Mo., have again gone back
to Granby to look after their interests, we will,
no doubt, some day be heralding with a brass
band when they have been able to leave their
interests there for a few days and roll into Belle-
fonte in their private car to see whether our
coffers are still only coppers. 3

SWALLOWED A TURKEY CALLER.—Ray-
mond Van Valin, of Unionville, met with
an accident extraordinary, so far as mis-
baps to hunters are conzerned, a few days
ago. He had gone to the mountains in
search of turkeys and was in the act of
calling them, with a device he had cut out
of tin into the shape of a horse-shoe, when
it accidentally slipped down his throat.
Lodging in the larynx it almost choked
the boy to death and it was with difficulty
that he made his way to Dr. Ww. U. Irvin,
who dislodged it.

—— Mrs. Frank Fry, of Ferguson town-
ship, husked 600 bushels of corn in four-
teen days. Here is an exhibition of indus-
try that should put any lazy man to
shame. She had some pigs that she needed
corn for during the winter and asked a
farmer near her home, if she could work
for him on the shares. Never dreaming
that the little creature was so much in
earnest he said: ‘‘Certainly’’ and she went
to work, with the ahove result. To ac-
complish this record she did not neglect
her household duties and took care of her
two little children, as well.
